What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

couple of pics for easy compare

before


after

Its hard to capture a decent pic from a distance because it really does pretty much disappear

 

Huge difference! I like it. Thanks for the pics...

 

All you can do i's remove them once they get that bad. It always looks worse on white unfortunately.

 

What is this for? I've never seen it...

 

I gained a full 3" of lift in the front and 2-3/8" in the rear with all those parts over the stock. I did take measurements before and after

(measurements were taken from the ground to the fender centre of the wheel)
Stock:
Front - 35-1/4"
Rear - 36-3/4"

Lift/tires/wheels/shocks
Front - 38-1/4"
Rear - 39-1/8"

 

To scratch off lottery tickets...

 

I did a thingy(you can see in the night picture, sorry fro the bad picture). Then fixed a thingy. Passenger rear wheel took a lashing. I also was gifted a new light now were do I put this monster...?

 

Then I looked back at it! Love this view!

 

Looks good. My predator steps cover mine so this mod really wouldn’t do much for me. Good Job!!

 

It's a T/W coin they sell from time to time.

 

I wonder d if the predator steps would cover it. That's next on my list

 

huh So mostly just for cool points?

 

How hard was it to cut the plastic?

 

Does it ride better or worse than the stock Pro? How much taller?

 

Similar to the badges, decals etc. Just a fun item.

 

Hahaha! Can't give away that V6 powwaaaaaa!

Good luck next time around on the dip! Done right, it looks good and lasts quite along time. Had dip on the wheels on my old lease for almost 3 years and it only started to peel because some ass clown took a pressure washer wayy to close to the edge.

Also definitely prefer the dipped look over the chrome badges and wheels on the OR. it'll suffice until I can get real wheels and grille. Hahaha

 

This explains all.

I have an amazing wife. My best friend and soul mate.
She is the most easy going, positive person I have ever met.
She is Russian, originally from Kamchatka....which is right across the Pacific from Alaska....volcanoes and all. They only way to get there is either boat or plane even though it is on the mainland there is no land passage.
I met her while she was living in Moscow. I have lived there and have been traveling there for work for 20+ years.
She speaks 3 languages. On top of that she has 2 BS degrees and 2 Masters....one in educational psychology.
We found out a few months ago she has Stage 0 breast cancer and tomorrow is having a double mastectomy...at the same time a plastic surgeon comes in and puts in implants....minimum 4 to 6 hour surgery.
She loves taking pics....so today she says hey take a pic of me....climbs up on the Tacos...
Me....I'm scared chitless about what is going to happen surgery wise. They basically go up to just below the collar bones and remove everything under the skin. I know she is going to be in massive pain for weeks. The doc told her to plan to be off work for at least a month.
She is like hey...I can get bigger boobs.
And today when I did tell her I was really upset about the whole pain thing and didn't want to say anything until today since I don't want to scare her etc... she looked at me and says this with her psychologist hat on (she is always pulling that on me ; ):
"Well a psychologist was counseling an Olympic athlete who was nervous about doing bad in their event. She said you can either be nervous about doing bad or you can be excited about doing your best. Wife says "and I think about doing my best". She made my eyes water...
So this pic of her on top of the world of sorts regardless of what's going on....wish I had as big cajones as her!
I'm not really religious....but I am praying for the best.

Today's mods....(I stay busy so I don't freak...)
Tinted front windows.
Installed 3rd Gen Bilstiens all around to level (ordered from Marie at Headstrong on Friday afternoon....they arrived Monday! Crazy fast!)
Installed a MBRP exhaust...shipped to my door for $209.99...great low end sound....purrs quiet when cruising.

Here's wishing you both the best and hope for a quick recovery.

 

Thoughts and prayers brother.
